Thanks. This is a compliment, right? I personally would have written it 'sounds good, great songs'

FB!! You can't tell me my AAD is so bad you can't comment on it 11 hours later! I know you have been on here. It's free after all.

My access to Songfight is entirely determined by whether or not my ISP wants to find the site when I try load it. More than 50% of the time it times out. I enjoyed your album. It is better than most.

Hey Tony, enjoyable AAD.
Doing the MacKenzie Brothers thing at the end, eh? Heh.

I made my first AAD Saturday, and though some songs are considerably more exciting (or in-tune

) than others, you can hear them all at:

The Cow Exchange: Saving the Worst for Always AAD

Hope you enjoy it! Took about 17 hours, including mp3/html/id3/etc time, and breaks (UT2004, DJ shoppin', groceries). In what surprised me greatly, the first track (Sparky Glimmer Shimmer Engage) uses no pitch correction at all.

Update: I submitted this to archive.org, so if you had trouble downloading it now, or wanted to stream it, try the new link above! Lyrics are still here.

Tony Asbestos AAD
Good stuff. What's the difference between you & Squirrel Damage (other than a well placed synthesiser)?? Love the new music & still waiting for the Squirrel Damage CD. Favorite Track - "A Little Was a Lot"

Cow Exchange AAD
Lots of good stuff here too. Sounds like you had a lot of fun doing it but took it seriously at the same time. Favorite Track - "Flagrant Disregard For Attention Spans in the Name of Sleep."

Not Quite an AAD, but I wrote and recorded 4 songs yesterday. I made a page for all my AAD projects here:

Be well,

Ken: I'm halfway through your AAD EP, and it's AMAZING.

Finally! It has been acknowledged! "Loneliness: the Soundtrack" by AWHAM is on the AAD website.

Good. That's a great AAD.

I just listened to the Calfborg AAD Tromein and it blew my mind. I'm not sure if it was in a good or bad way, but either way, I have to pick the bits of my brain off the computer screen.

Man, Pumpkin Buzzard's Lonely Lives, Pianomega and Space Knock are great and totally accessible.

Octothorpe and Glenn Case collaborated on an album-a-day yesterday. There are several guest artists playing instruments they have never played before, so some of it is a bit rough, but we had a lot of fun.

http://www.mightyoctothorpe.com/AAD.html

Glenn on keys, bass, guitars, drums, piano, and vox
Spud on bass, accordian, horn, and vox
Jack Dondenville on guitar, bass, and drums
Bridget Killoran on drums
Ben Tandy on piano
Mad Dog on vox
Lyrics by Aaron Ondek

Tracks 1 and 2 were layered one track at a time, but we realized that we were taking way too long, so tracks 3-7 were perfomed live. All recordings were done at Octothorpe Studios in Seattle, with lyrics submitted via e-mail during the same time period.

How good is that?

I love Metal Klepto and Bite Size especially. If you want to know which one to enter, I'd go with that

Shut Up & Sit Down is great but the vocals are just a little quiet.

Good stuff. Hola!

So I had an idea for people looking for inspiration for an album-a-day. Before you were to start, you could have somebody else send you the track listing of an album they like a lot (ideally, an album you've never heard before), for you to write and record songs with those titles. I just think it might be interesting to then be able to compare the album you wrote with the original album using all the same titles. It might even be interesting for a group of two or more to exchange titles. This is just an idea I had hope someone finds it worth trying.

Another idea for song titles: pick a few random words from the WreckdoM mad-lib list and put them together. "Inadvertently Cheetos" has so much stream-of-consciousness potential, for example.

Also Octocase is ten times awesome.

Pumpkin Buzzard's third album-a-day, Sunshine Synthesizer, is now available for download.

You can all most likely check out Feldspar's fifth album-a-day, Calc Hole.
